Default Quad bike information

Hello,
I have seen someone on ebay advertise the following quad bike for sale, i was wondering if someone could hazard a guess on the following questions, as i really need to buy it quickly.
1) do you think it will be electric or kick start for this type of quad,
2) Are 4 stroke engines always run off unleaded fuel?
3) How much assembly is required on a brand new boxed quad?

Many thanks,
earthworm bob

Welcome to the forum bobbaker, 1) If they dont specify, dont buy it. probubly electric though 2) Yes 3) On my wifes quad I had to bolt on wheels, raise tighten handlebars, fill and install battery, loosen chain and tighten loose bolts.

Having answered those questions and visiting the site I would not reccomend buying one of these, just not enough info/pictures for me to make a decision.

I wouldn't do it. With my experience buying stuff that isn't a well known/major brand name, I have come to learn that they rip you off most of the time. I bought a go-ped for my son's 14th B-day, and it wasnt a major name, but it had a good price. I thought what the heck and bought it, turns out it went 1/2 the speed it was suppost to (said 30 and it went 13 or so max), it fell apart alot (he was riding it one day and the front tire fell off), and they just aren't worth it to waste the money on.

Hmmm, the link is in the UK... so shipping is an issue. Unless of course you live there as well. Still, there are a few scam artists on ebay, and when they live outside the US, it is hard to get your money back...
